shiftyvw - June 16th, 2006 at 01:00 PM

Not interested in separating small stuff out of the car yet. But the tacho was around $300 and the billet mount about $120.

Turbo54 - June 16th, 2006 at 04:32 PM

This is cheap! I have almost the same motor and its cost me almost double the asking price for the motor alone. bargain.
T54


shiftyvw - June 16th, 2006 at 05:25 PM

I started it up today again after checking the tappets and it sounded so sweet I didnt want to sell it, but unfortunatly thems the breaks.....

Ill admit i got a good deal on a lot of parts in the engine but turbo54 is correct, to replicate this motor would cost quite a bit, it cost me more than the asking price at any rate, I should add that these are the heads that the yanks say are good for 200hp, so there may be more in the motor if the cam and compression were increased. As It is now the compression is even turbo friendly, due to the fact the CNC machined chambers are so large, I forget the exact comp but its a bit under 8.5:1 It runs a tight deck as well at 055". Camshaft is not massive either. If I kept it a draw through holley turbo setup was next on the list....


I know its cheap but if you want to sell something the price has to be right!
